Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme

The Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme supports athletes to reach their goals in Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games disciplines.

Our athletes are varied in their disciplines so we work closely with each National Governing Body (NGB) to make sure we’re giving the right support. We look at all sorts of factors to help us define this including national or international rankings, competition results for individuals or team selections. We aim to be as inclusive as possible. However, we can only provide for sports that have a clear pathway or are supported by an NGB.

HTAS Package

The scheme  can help you to access valuable skills and other vital services, including:

For HTAS Members:

  • A fast-track physiotherapy service to help you bounce back quickly (for an additional fee)
  • Sport science support so you have access to the latest research and techniques

For HTAS Extended Members:

  • The above plus:
  • Free access to participating leisure centres to help make the most of training facilities

To apply for the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme, please click here.

The applications will be reviewed on 1st January, 1st April, 1st July and 1st October. Physiotherapy cover starts one month after your application. Unfortunately, we can’t offer support for an existing injury and we can cover up to 6 appointments per injury.

Please read the criteria document below for more details.
